And if that isn’t enough QC2076 news for you, I just learned
from W. Gerald Reilly, everybody’s favorite from the ML group, that he will
attend Quatuor Coronati tonight to receive the Norman B. Spencer Prize(!) for his paper: “Urbanization of Harwich and Freemasonry.”
Congratulations, my venerable and beloved brother!
